How Do Cities Stay Alive at Night?

Cities stay alive at night because people and machines work together. When it gets dark, street lights turn on to help us see the road. People like police officers, nurses, and bakers still do their jobs so we can have food and safety even when it's nighttime. Some stores and restaurants are open too, making sure there is always something fun or useful happening.
